Ch. 5 The Inheritance Test
Darius Nott approaches his daughter-in-law and Grandson. Matilda looked at her father-in-law and noticed he looked concerned.
" Is everything alright?" She asked.
" I received word that my niece has returned to the Wizarding World," Darius responded.
" Niece?" Theodore raised an eyebrow.
Darius nodded. " Yes. She's the only daughter of my older sister, Amelia Nott. My sister disappeared during the First Wizarding War because of her association with Lord Voldemort. I never knew she was pregnant. I would have protected them if I had known," He frowned.
Matilda gently pats Darius' shoulder, looking at him worryingly.
" Where is she now?" She asked.
" She's at Gringotts with Kabruk. We are going to Diagon Alley via Gringotts to meet her," Darius looked at his daughter-in-law and grandson.
Matilda nodded while Theodore hummed, curious to meet his father's cousin.
The trio walked towards the fireplace. Darius grabs some green powder and throws it into the fire, watching the flames turn green. They entered, and Darius said their following location.
" Kabruk's office, Gringotts, Diagon Alley!" The green flames consumed them, and they disappeared.
Evelyn sat on the couch in Kabruk's office. She took a sip of tea and ate some snacks that Kabruk provided. Her eyes blinked when she saw the chimney turned green, and three individuals stepped out.
" Woah," She says, amazed that magic can transport people from one place to another via chimneys.
" Sir Darius!" Kabruk approached his client.
" Kabruk. Where is she?" Darius asked, eager to meet his sister's daughter.
Evelyn stayed quiet when she heard Kabruk say Darius's name and remembered that he was her maternal uncle.
" Sir Darius. I would like you to meet Lady Amelia's daughter, your niece, Evelyn Tamsyn," Kabruk escorts Darius to Evelyn.
Evelyn stood and curtseyed.
" Hello. My name is Evelyn Tamsyn Carrington," She greeted.
Darius looked at Evelyn as though he was seeing a ghost.
" Carrington?" His eyes blinked, and he remembered Kabruk telling him that Evelyn had lived in the Muggle World most of her life.
" My adopted family's surname," Evelyn responded.
Darius nodded.
" You look so much like my sister, Amelia," He approaches Evelyn. " But you do have a hint of your father in you," he looks at his niece from head to toe.
Evelyn smiled when she heard that she looked like her biological parents.
" If I had known your mother was pregnant, I would have kept you two safe," Darius looked at Evelyn with guilt.
" It's okay. What happened happened, as the Muggles say. I'm glad to know that I am at least Magical because of my biological parents and not because of my adopted parents," Evelyn smiled.
Darius' gaze softened, and he held his arms out to Evelyn.
" Can I?" He asked, wanting to hug his niece.
" Of course," Evelyn hugs Darius.
Darius hugs Evelyn and smiles, relieved that his niece is safe and back in the Wizarding World, where she belongs.
Theodore stood beside his mother, and his eyes blinked when he saw his Grandfather hugging someone. He hummed, imagining Darius hugging an older Witch since he recalled that they were meeting his father's cousin.
Darius let go of Evelyn and gently placed a hand on her shoulder.
" Evelyn, I would like you to meet my daughter-in-law, Matilda, and my Grandson, Theodore Nott." He looks at Matilda and Theodore.
" Hello. Nice to meet you," Evelyn curtseyed.
Theodore looked at Evelyn with mixed emotions because he expected his father's cousin to be older and not someone close to his age.
" Hello, Evelyn. It is so lovely to meet you," Matilda curtseyed. " Theodore," She looks at her son.
Theodore looked at Evelyn from head to toe.
Evelyn's blue-green eyes intently stared at Theodore's blue eyes.
" Since your father is my cousin, that makes you my neph—" Theodore cuts Evelyn off.
" Just Theodore is fine," Theodore says, not wanting Evelyn to call him nephew since he felt weird about it.
Evelyn nodded and smiled, glad to have a family in this new, magical world she knew she would live in.
" Kabruk. Has Evelyn taken her Family Inheritance?" Darius asked, looking at the Goblin.
" She has only taken her DNA test since we wanted to confirm her identity," Kabruk responded.
" Family Inheritance?" Evelyn looks at Darius with a confused gaze.
" A Family Inheritance is a way to determine a wizard or witch's familial lines, heritage, magical traits, or any inherited magical abilities or items that might be due to them when a loved one has passed," Theodore answered.
" Theodore is correct," Darius nodded.
" So, there is a way to know if my mother and father left me anything?" Evelyn asked, looking curious.
" Yes," Kabruk nodded.
' I wonder if Tom knew Amelia was expecting before he became insane with power, ' Darius asked himself internally while looking at Evelyn.
" What do I have to do?" Evelyn asked.
" It's similar to the DNA test," Kabruk responded.
" Okay!" Evelyn nodded.
A golden scroll and pin appeared on Kabruk's desk. Kabruk and Evelyn walked towards the desk, with the others following and surrounding her.
Evelyn grabs the golden pin and pricks her finger. She watches blood appear and pours some on the golden scroll. She sees words start to appear, which makes her curious.
' Who am I?' She internally asked.
Kabruk and Evelyn looked and saw that the scroll was complete.

Evelyn finishes reading her inheritance test and looks at Kabruk.
' That name,' She internally says, recognizing the name on her Hogwarts Acceptance Letter.
" How can I unlock my Parseltongue, Natural Legilimency, and Occlumency Abilities?" She asked.
" Our Goblin Magic can help you unlock these abilities with a price," Kabruk looks at Evelyn.
" I'll pay for it," Darius firmly says, annoyed and angry that Headmaster Albus Dumbledore somehow found his niece and blocked her magical abilities.
Kabruk nodded.
Theodore looked shocked when he saw all the things Evelyn inherited.
' I knew we were related to a Hogwarts Founder. But, it is a surprise to learn that Evelyn is also related to another Hogwarts Founder,' He internally says.
" It also says that I inherited these Family Rings. Can I accept them, or am I too young?" Evelyn asked.
Darius and Kabruk looked at Evelyn and then at each other.
" I am okay with Evelyn accepting the Nott Family Ring. But, I am concerned for her safety when it comes to receiving the Gaunt, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin Family Rings," Darius expresses his concern.
" For Evelyn's safety, she can get the Nott Family Ring first with you as her Magical Guardian. Once she is of age, she can get the rest of her family's rings," Kabruk looks at Darius and Evelyn.
" I am fine with that," Evelyn nodded. " And besides, Mother's Locket can protect me in case my parents' enemies want to harm me," She points out.
Kabruk nodded, and a blue velvet box appeared. He grabs it and opens it, revealing the Nott Family Ring.
" Follow what I say to have Mother Magic accept you as Head of the Nott Family," He says, looking at Evelyn.
Evelyn nodded.
" I, your name, accept the title of Head of the Nott Family," Kabruk says.
" I, Evelyn Tamsyn Nott, accept the title of Head of the Nott Family," Evelyn recited, saying her mother's maiden name.
The ring glowed, and it disappeared, reappearing on Evelyn's finger.
Evelyn looked and smiled in awe at the fact that Mother Magic had accepted her as Head of the Nott Family.
